Re: mesa mark v - standby related question
No damage will come to an unplugged amp that is not connected to a speaker cab. It is done all of the time with heads.
My personal practice is to make sure the speaker cab is connected before I plug the amp in - just to be damn sure I have the speaker connected before I start playing. |

Re: mesa mark v - standby related question
OK.
You won't hurt the amp by putting it in standby with the speaker cab not connected , but I really DO NOT recommend doing this. It's just too easy to forget plugging in the cab before you start playing and the practice will invite disaster. I always make sure the speaker is connected before I even plug the amp in. |
